The purpose of this study is to examine changes and innovations in the educational curriculum with a focus on the factors driving these changes and the challenges faced in their implementation. The results of the study show that curriculum changes and innovations are triggered by several key factors: 1) technological advances that affect learning methods, 2) job market demands and economic changes that demand new skills, and 3) socio-cultural changes that encourage the adjustment of teaching materials. Although various countries have innovated curricula according to local needs, significant challenges remain, namely: 1) teachers' readiness to implement the new curriculum, 2) the availability of resources that support the learning process, 3) resistance to existing changes, and 4) the lack of a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of previous curricula.
